Bulldog Action News is our daily morning broadcast show where selected fifth-grade students get the opportunity to work in front of the cameras and behind the scenes to spread all the important information our school needs for the day.
Every spring, fourth grade (rising fifth grade) students apply and a maximum of 36 students are chosen to participate in the broadcast program. Each team of six students will work for six weeks, rotating through all broadcast positions. Please e-mail tiffanie_hitchcock@gwinnett.k12.ga.us with any questions.
